TrustScore

Weighted across 10 criteria

CURATEIQ

TrustScore breakdown

88 /100

We take what's most important for a product to determine the TrustScore. Here's our research:

Preservative System 91

The published INCI names 1,2-Hexanediol and Caprylhydroxamic Acid as the preservative system, both gentler alternatives to formaldehyde releasers or MI/MCI, with no Quaternium-15, DMDM hydantoin, imidazolidinyl/diazolidinyl urea, bronopol, or MI present.

Fragrance-Free Verification 85

This balm is not fragrance-free: it's formulated with a five-essential-oil blend (cedar, citrus, rosemary, lavender), each named individually in the INCI rather than hidden under a generic 'fragrance' term. No concentration or method is given, and the product makes no fragrance-free or unscented claim at all.

Formulation Safety 91

The published INCI for this balm shows no paraben, no formaldehyde releaser, no triclosan/triclocarban, and no talc; it contains fragrance-contributing essential oils (cedarwood, lavender, rosemary, citrus oils) rather than an undisclosed 'fragrance' blend.

1,4-Dioxane Contamination Risk 91

The complete published INCI for this balm contains no ingredient ending in '-eth' and no PEG compound; the emulsifying and texturizing agents are plant-derived esters and gums rather than ethoxylated surfactants.

Recall History 95

We queried the CPSC recall database directly and found no record of PAUME in any role, with controls confirming the corpus covers comparable consumer product classes. The brand has a clean recall history.

Certification Credibility 95

PAUME's cruelty-free claim resolves on the certifier's own register: the Leaping Bunny programme has certified PAUME since 2021, across body care and hand sanitizers, the class this balm belongs to. The certification is company-scoped rather than issued for this finished product, and it covers animal-testing policy only, so it says nothing about the formulation itself.

Certification Rigor 77

No EWG VERIFIED, MADE SAFE, or comparable formulation-safety certification is held for this balm. The Leaping Bunny certification the brand carries is a cruelty-free programme covering animal-testing policy, and it assesses no aspect of the formulation.

Transparency & Support 84

The full ingredient list is published for this balm along with the container's recycled-plastic content, but country of manufacture, a warranty, and any spare-parts or repair route are not stated anywhere for this product.

Ingredient Transparency 85

The complete INCI is published, but the formula lists roughly 26 ingredients, well above the fifteen-ingredient simplicity threshold the research sets, and several essential oils are named individually rather than reduced.

Marketing Claim Honesty 82

It leans on unregulated language like 'premium plant based emollients' and 'restore your skin's natural microbiome,' anchored to named ingredients such as grape seed oil and safflower oleosomes, but the anti-aging and microbiome claims themselves carry no supporting test or method.

A closer look

Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate

PAUME's Unique Formula

A lab-created, non-living probiotic ingredient keeps the microbiome in balance while increasing skin tone and elasticity, minimizing wrinkles and providing deep hydration. Also effective in soothing the skin and reducing redness and irritation.

  • Grape Seed Oil

    Grape Seed Oil

    Improves skin’s moisture, softness and elasticity. It contains high levels of vitamin E, which has high antioxidant properties and protects skin against free radicals.

  • Safflower Oleosomes

    A sustainably produced emollient derived from safflower oil, that delivers skin nourishing vitamins and enhanced long lasting hydration. It is an all-natural alternative to chemical emulsifiers that are skin irritating and non-biodegradable.
